Where’s the gas/electric hook up? Where’s the water, and working toilet? Cooking area? Fridge? You can’t call a studio a 1 bedroom apartment why on earth would it be acceptable to call this a 1 bedroom? Vacation property lmao, thank you I needed that!
Also crazy with parking spaces, though in some locations & use patterns, would come in a lot cheaper than paying for parking adhoc.
This is not the case for beach huts, as you can sit on the beach for free.
It might be tempting if you have kids who are into watersports, but it isn’t secure enough to store expensive equipment so you might still be into hauling that on and off the beach every time, most beach hut rules do not permit you to store small sailing boats (lasers, dinghys, etc.) and many don’t permit storage of anything except in the summertime. It is common for these to have tight restrictions on your disposal of the hut by sale or in a will & on what you must do in the event it is washed away in a storm or vandalised.
So you have a shed on a very busy, stony beach, which you can’t do much with, anc which will have high ongoing costs. If people find £25k an acceptable price, that’s up to them, but it is crazy.
Anyhow, I believe the ad was posted here because it was listed as a one-bedroom house, which it objectively is not. If you’re caught sleeping in your hut, you’ll find it repossessed very fast, and yes - they do check.
This is essentially like buying an rv parking spot on the lakeside in a campground. Taking my family to the beach would be a whole lot less of a ball ache if I knew I had my spot, with the buckets and spades and frisbees and towels and shit already there. Somewhere to sit and get out of the sun, no taking giant umbrellas or folding gazebos and stuff.
If I were moderately wealthy this would be a nice thing to have.
I don’t understand what is embarrassing about this?
Looks like a reasonably photographed, reasonably described, reasonably priced vacation property.
It’s a changeing shed listed as a one bedroom house for £25,000. I’m not sure what’s reasonable about that.
Isn’t that the going rate?
What is the normal market price for a beach hut?
I’m honestly not sure what the typical asking price is for a changing booth, but it’s definitely not a one bedroom house.
This whole post gives off vibes like y’all are outraged some people own vacation property.

You’re very hung up on that detail, but it’s probably as simple as the listing not having a category for a property like this.
If this is their holiday property, I feel bad for them.
Here we are kids!..
No no better
Here I am at my beach front masterbaition shed. This is the life.
10/10 would masterbait in again.
One you’re explicitly banned from staying overnight in. No plumbing, no electric. Extremely restrictive covenants. Very high service charges.
They have a charm, and one wouldn’t expect them to be cheap, but £25,000 is plain daft.
What do these generally cost?
Everyone is telling me £25k is nuts, but nobody seems to know what it’s actually worth.
I’ve seen parking spaces sell for more.
£25k is about normal for these huts.

Your being downvoted but you’re right.
